Planning appeal statistics PDF 48 KB Update from the Development Manager
Minutes: The Committee noted the planning appeals report setting out the appeals lodged, decided and in progress.
The Development Manager updated Members on two appeals that were currently in progress as public inquiries. The first appeal related to application 22/2216/MFUL – Pound Road BESS, land north east of Axminster National Grid Substation, Pound Road, Hawkchurch and the second related to application 22/0990/MFUL – land at Marsh Green Farm, Marsh Green. The Development Manager also updated Members on a further potential public inquiry that had been lodged by Churchill Retirement Living (reference 22/2120/MFUL – Jewson Ltd., Fore Street, Exmouth). Members noted that the council was currently awaiting a decision from the Planning Inspectorate as to whether this appeal would be dealt with by way of Public Inquiry.
Finally, the Development Manager drew Members attention to an appeal decision in respect of planning application 22/1138/OUT and asked them to bear in mind the Inspector’s decision to dismiss the appeal on the basis that the proposal was not in a sustainable location as it was away from services and was not safe for walking pedestrians when considering applications in the future. |
